Happy Halloween Ya'll

Our Family at the Ward Halloween Carnival. Mom always dresses up to suit with Warren for Halloween. Dad lost his Halloween spirit after his first year of law school.


A cowboy worth kissing...wouldn't you agree?





Warren Fishing at the Carnival.
Warren and his fairy princess Charlotte. Charlotte will be the first to agree that Warren IS a cowboy worth kissing!! He obviously agrees that she is a princess worth kissing because he laid his first kiss on her earlier this spring.

My Litt'l Pumpkin

It is beginning to feel like fall here in Texas. A couple of weeks ago the leaves and acorns started to fall out of the oak trees in our yard. This morning we woke up to very cool temperatures (about 60 degrees). We headed out to a great pumpkin patch at The Good Shepard (a local christian church). They had lots of pumpkins to choose from and some fun stuff for the kids to do. Warren had a great time playing with his friend Zoe...oh, and mommy too.



























After the pumpkin patch my friend Kari and I took Warren and Zoe to lunch at Panera. As you can see the chocolate chip cookies are the best thing on the menu! Honesty at its finest.

"If you build it, they will come."

I still need to be pinched myself... but yes, it is official! We are building a house! We are so excited! It should be finished somewhere around the end of April or May. We kept thinking about how few visitors we have had since we moved to Texas. Not that we can blame anyone...our accommodations have been a pretty meager, at best. So, we followed the inspiration which came from the movie Field of Dreams... "If you build it, they will come."

Kickin my can

September was back to school time for me and for some reason this semester is kickin my can! I have been going to school part time for years now. The last year and a half I have been taking between 10-12 credits each semester and have been able to manage it ok. This semester, not so graceful.

Currently, I am taking Biology, Biopsychology, Computer Science and a Library Info Systems Class. My CS and LIS classes are fine...the other two are pretty study intensive and eat up most of my time. I have always loved science and done pretty well at it. I am finding, however, that it is more difficult teaching myself science than I anticipated. (I am taking these classes online). I find myself wishing that I had the professor/classmates to interact with and cell models to play with in class, etc.

It has made life around the house a little more interesting and a bit cluttered. My kitchen has become a scientist lab. Everynight Weston comes home to test tubes, chemicals and experiments all over the place. I haven't blown anything up yet but I did suffer a mild burn a few days ago. No worries, nothing a little ice and solarcaine can't fix.
